Although Radar lives in wraps and is gorgeous ( at least to me ) he's all terrier...he lays at my feet on guard at all times as are my other yorkies...it's funny when the hubby walks in the room they bark at him and a semi growl because they are protecting their mom. Any noise they hear in the backyard off the chair or floor they fly out the doggie door they go. Chases birds and cats out of the yard. They are my perfect guard dogs and "yes" I said guard dogs in small packages.
I dont' think any breeder that I know is breeding out the terrier attitude nor keeps it out of the standard. Everyone I know wants nothing but attitude. While we have pretty dogs in the ring doesn't mean that terrier attitude is extinct! Every time I'm grooming or at ringside and a big dog walks by I have to keep Radar from wanting to fly off the ringside table from wanting to go after the bigger dog. He does live in wraps but he's all dog, terrier, lover, lap dog, bed warmer, dirt digger, grass grabber, face kisser ect...not a bad life for a dog.
